OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1.  Check PVC Heating Blanket for cuts, tears, burns, exposed wires, frayed 

edges or frayed cords. DO NOT use if any of these conditions exist. 

Blanket has no serviceable parts.

2.  Place the blanket under the PVC 

conduit where the bend is to be 

made. (See Figure 4a).

3.  Begin to wrap the PVC Heating 

Blanket around the conduit.  

(See Figure 4b).  

Continue to wrap the blanket 

snugly around the PVC conduit 

and secure the blanket in place 

with the velcro straps. The blanket 

should overlap the thermostat 

housing. (See Figure 4c).

4.  Next, with the blanket secure 

around the PVC conduit, support 

the PVC conduit as shown in 

Figure 4c. Two 4"×4" pieces of 

wood are recommended. This is 

to prevent damage to the heating 

blanket during the heating process.

5.  Plug in the PVC Heating Blanket. 

As the PVC conduit heats, you can 

check for softness by pressing on 

the sides of the blanket. The PVC 

conduit is ready to bend when it 

becomes very flexible. UNPLUG 

THE PVC HEATING BLANKET and  

unstrap the velcro straps.
